I'm planning on a very basic game created in VB.Net WinForms and a web server(shared) which will host PHP and MySQL.I think, I can create this basic game with no problems. But my headache is with the communication part In the db(MySQL db in the web server), there'll be usernames and password listed in a table. When my vb app is opened, it would ask for the username and password. The user enters his username and password. This data is compared with the data in the db. If a match is found, then the game starts and the user can play the game. At the end of game, it will ask for the confirmation to send highscores to the webserver. When confirmed by the user, the highscore will be send to the webserver, which will be then stored in the MySQL db.
The game will be a simple one just like Tic-Tac-Toe or a text based game.What all things do you recommend for the development/communication part of this game ?
I've been working on my game for a while, in a non-online multi-player state it is complete. My goal is to add LAN or Internet Play support.My game is coded in Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express, It relies heavily on timers.Currently you play against the AI, and there is a Local multiplayer mode, using mice, controllers or the keyboard.At the moment, it is a two player, (Or 1 player against the AI) game, from my understanding the standard Client-to-Server option wouldn't very efficent, the best choice would be a peer-to-peer system.That being said, a lot of the stuff could be done client side, like for instance, the particle engine and Dynamic Rendering.[code]
I am trying to make a card game which can be played over the internet between users. I have already downloaded the cardGame Starter kit for Visual Basic. I plan to modify it to the game I want.I had worked with Sockets (Client-Server App) a long time ago for a small chat program for computers connected in LAN.I had the following questions:How should I start off with this Application, should I first just concentrate on making the game and then progress to trying to figure out how to make it playable over the internet?
Or should I do it the other way round?Can I attain my objective using Sockets? or do I have to use something else?Is there a tutorial available to start me off? (I Googled and "Bing"ed it but to no avail)

I want to make a Small Traffic Monitoring Program for our house. Since in South Africa Internet is One of the many things that are way overpriced I want to monitor each computers traffic with a small Program since even when we are not at home for a day we might easily use 2 gigs of data. Somewhere a computer is downloading like mad?For a 4 mib(you only get 3.5 at most) line here Will cost you around R413(36 GBP/ 58 Usd) per month and One gig of data around R19(1.68 GBP/ 2.70 Usd) - R112(9.9 GBP - 15 USD).Ok enough Complaining. Each Computer in our house Connects to the internet either with lan or Wlan So is their a way to get how much traffic passes through one of those OR is there a way to monitor the total internet traffic regardless of how it connects to the internet ?
Alright everyone, this is a huge problem I've been having for a while. How exactly would I go about refreshing the internet settings so that a webbrowser will check the registry again for the IP to use? Instead of just using the IP that's there when the browser is first instantiated. Here's what I'm looking for that someone else directed me to, however it's in C#. I'm sure there's a method like this in VB.NET, however I have no idea what it may be.[URL]..
had 3 courses in computer science 10 years ago and decided to go into economics. After a 6 year and continuing career in economics, I decided to dabble in code to assist my economic career. In this pursuit, I have developed some neat things, but I have a simple problem. I code an application, hit build, hit publish, receive a setup and manifest, then put it on my usb drive. Plug the usb drive into another computer. Drag the setup and manifest to the hard drive, hit the button, a graphic regarding Launching Application comes up, then immediately a window comes up stating:
Cannot Start Application.Cannot download the application. The application is missing required files. Contact application vendor for assistance.
The errors stem from the manifest file. It says downloading the file (file path) Hello.exe.manifest did not succeed. It then follows with 3 lines of filepaths for the Hello.exe.manifest.
I am running VB 2010 express. I made a slot machine game for my mother for her birthday one Computer A. I moved the published files to Computer B as described above to test before giving to my mother. The game isn't too important at this point because I tried to test whether the game itself was the problem or if it was my error in lack of knowledge of how to deploy. As such, I created a program called Hello. In Hello, there is simply a form1 and a button1. When clicked, button1 displays a messagebox with some text. Not a rocket science program.
My intention is simply this:Allow the Hello program to be put on another computer via a USB drive and then installed.The two computers are not networked and let's assume the second computer cannot connect to the internet. When I go to the wizard, I select the location I want to publish to. In this situation, my desktop.Next, I select CD-ROM/DVD-ROM instead of UNC path or website. I don't know what UNC path is. I presume CD-ROM/DVD-ROM would be similar to USB drive in that it is a removal data storage item.I chose that the application will NOT check for updates.Finally, I receive this:The application will be published to:
file:///C:/Users/ComputerA/Desktop/
Where I find the files, put them on the USB drive and try to install on Computer B.Also, for more information, I can use those files on the originating computer and they do SUCCESSFULLY install and I can use the application. I have not figured out why it will not install on another computer.
I am making a internet cafe system, but I need a login system. I want to use MySQL, but I am not sure of any good servers(that are free) and of the code to use because all the code I try crashes.

I want to make a vb application that downloads stuff off of the internet such as pictures, etc. Does anyone know how I can do this? P.S. If anyone knows how I can implement a progress bar into this .
I am looking for some advice on how to proceed with a little project I am doing envolving sending data to an external site. So the rough situation is I have data stored in variables in a VB program (and corrisponding excel sheet working as a storage place for variables after the project closes) and I need to some how get this data to a portal site and have it entered automatically :P. I current have a button on my VB program that opens to the specific site and the users navigate to the data entry portion of the site and enter the data manually but my eventual goal is to hopefully have this all automated through a single button on the form.
we have our system running but our system needs to be modified because we did something wrong...we are doing an "Internet monitoring System" in our school library where the user can only access the internet 1hr a day, and he/she cannot use the internet within that day if he couldn't buy a time on a serve...every students should only have 20hrs time usage per semester...our problem is every day their 20hrs is being reduced in 1hr.. the rule is the time per semester which is 20hrs that is given to the students was reduced 1hr only if he uses the internet..but our system is reducing their 1hr every day.
I am making an application where a user can store their logons/passwords and other details for websites on the internet.My question is this: Am I able to have a list of all sites that the user has saved a password for on the internet?I don't think I will be able to get the password (because of Windows security), but am I able to see what sites the user has saved their password on, and maybe even the username they used?
i would like to get some ideas on how to connect computers to play a LAN game.. the deadline for this project will be on the 27th of march so.The game that i'll be making is a counter-strike-like 2d game.. is it possible that i can finish this project before its deadline?
I would like to write on a game window while I am ingame, Like steam or xfire for some basic functions.Anyway I can do this by calling Graphics.FromHwnd() In rapid succession and then it looks really flickery. The game is using DirectX, is there a way to sort of "Inject" something to be drawn into the paint event ? even if this is not possible with vb.net I can do C# or C++ if I know how.
Using the following If GeBrowse.DownloadString("URL GOES HERE").Contains("CHECKS FOR TEXT HERE.") Then Something goes here If there is no apparent internet connection, how would i create an error handling Message box or something of the sort?
